Every time you use the Fitness app on Apple TV 4K, you need to connect your Apple Watch or iPhone to start working out. Your Apple Watch or iPhone needs to be unlocked and have Bluetooth turned on. Once you’re connected, the Fitness app shows your workout history, Custom Plans, and library.
Quick tip: With iOS 16.1 or later, your Apple Watch or iPhone syncs with the Fitness app on any Apple TV 4K that has tvOS 16.1 or later. That means you can work out with your Apple Fitness+ subscription on your Apple TV 4K at home, an Apple TV 4K in the office workout room, or an Apple TV 4K in a hotel room while you’re traveling.
